What makes Arista Jacksonville special?

The best description of Arista Jacksonville did not come from us.

The best description of Arista Jacksonville did not come from us.

It came from a candidate who spent the day in the hospital and watched the team work.

Yes, she noticed the beautiful space, thoughtful layout, and shiny new equipment. But that was not what she kept talking about afterward.

It was the people.

"Every patient felt like everyone’s responsibility. Doctors helped each other with their cases, shared ideas, and stayed interested even when their names were nowhere on the chart. Most of all, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there".

That is difficult to manufacture and impossible to fake.

Arista Jacksonville is built and led by women who practice excellent medicine and show up for one another. You can feel it when you walk through the door.

Our internist brings years of experience, advanced ultrasound skills, and a calming presence to the hospital. She is kind, funny, patient, and has a way of making clients and staff feel as though they are sitting down with a trusted friend. Outside the hospital, she supports local bird-conservation efforts and is passionate about creating safer, pollinator-friendly spaces. Caring for living things is apparently a full-time condition.

Our surgeon is a skilled, thoughtful clinician who brings focus, precision, and a steady presence to the operating room. She moved to Jacksonville because she wanted to build a surgery service within this collaborative group of women. She recently welcomed her first baby, who joins a family that already includes a horse named Bug and a growing gaggle of kittens.

Our criticalist has spent years training house officers who remain fiercely loyal to her because she shares her knowledge generously and makes people feel safe asking questions. She is invested in helping other veterinarians grow and is the person who will be there for you when a case gets complicated. Originally from Atlanta, she is now happily raising her family near the beach and has adapted to coastal life with remarkable ease.

Our ER doctor owner is the doctor you want beside you when things go sideways. She previously taught at UF, practices exceptionally high-level emergency medicine, and shows up whenever her team needs her. She also has a habit of surprising people with perfectly chosen little treasures because making others feel welcome and special is simply part of who she is.

Our Hospital Director understands how the hospital needs to run and how the people doing the work need to feel. She is direct, kind, hardworking, and a skilled ultrasonographer to boot. She understands what the medical team needs and knows how to turn it into a practical plan.

We are looking for a Surgeon who wants to join a hospital where collaboration is something people actually do, not simply a word printed in the job advertisement.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are generous with technicians and fellow doctors
• Believe cases should go where they will receive the best care
• Want to teach and learn simply because contributing is the right thing to do
• Look for a way to say yes, even when it would be easier to say no
• Want to help build the culture, not sit on the sidelines and critique it
• Want to work with people who care about both excellent medicine and one another
• Have a sense of humor, because veterinary medicine is hard and we need to have some fun together while doing it

You will practice in a modern emergency and multispecialty hospital where consultation happens in real time and complicated cases do not have to be managed alone.

The hospital itself is beautiful, well laid out, and equipped with the technology and tools needed to practice advanced medicine. More importantly, it is designed to make it easier for people and services to work together.

Our Care Navigation team guides clients through the referral experience. Scribble provides ambient dictation, allowing you to spend less time typing and more time practicing medicine. Instinct serves as our EMR and PIMS, bringing patient care, communication, and workflow together in a system our teams genuinely enjoy using.
